something like this (untested):

for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($string_to_parse); $i++) {
 $char = substr($string_to_parse, $i, 1);

   $output_string .= "&#".ord($char).";";

You may need to test for value 127 ... not sure if it starts on 0 or 1
that is...

127 is the last of the 7bit numbers (01111111), 128 has the 8th bit on (10000000), so perhaps you want to test for > 127 rather than > 128.
